GTO Wizard says OK pre-flop

but I could not figure out where to go to get an analysis post-flop
I uploaded the hand and it said, "Nonexisting GTO spot" whatever that means
PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.10/$0.25 - 6 players

UTG: $38.50 (154 bb)
MP: $25.25 (101 bb)
CO: $49.03 (196 bb)
BU: $28.22 (113 bb)
SB: $25.00 (100 bb)
BB (Hero): $25.00 (100 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.35) Hero is BB with 8♠:8♣:
1 fold, MP raises to $0.62, 3 players fold, Hero calls $0.37

Flop: ($1.34) 6♣:Q♦:7♥: (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $0.42, Hero calls $0.42 <<< standard, or two optimistic? Unless MP has a Q or a pocket pair 9 or higher, I have reasonable equity

Turn: ($2.18) 2♦: (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $3, Hero ???

Bizarre hand? Post it in Hand of the Day!!

this this is fine to call, be sides hitting an 8 on teh flop, with only 1 over you can't ask for to much more.. turn I think could be a call as well depending if villain has high double barrel plays.

That's another one of those things you will learn from solver is that it teaches you the value of PP in certain board textures that you used to give up in the past. That too will increase your win rate. On the flip side, as the villain, I'm going to be making some pot sized bets with range like Td9d. And I will get snapped off on brick river by someone with 88 who practices with solver. So I make adjustments and I learn not to fire again on river.

Also the sizing of villain is really interesing. Villain is betting 138% pot on the turn. This could be a tell.
Read less I would most likely fold.

depends on strategy villain is playing, but one solver strategy is on turns any nutted hands and draw you over bet, so that you become polarized at this point with big made hands, hands with big draws and equity and AIR.. So i be looking for villain to have set Q's possible AA KK AKdiamond KQdiamond and then a all combos AK unsuited, AJ's KJd A3-A5 diamond. So in the end if villain makes his bluffs equal or a little less then his nut hands, it becomes a toss up.

If he then jams on river for 2x pot which this basically sets up for, you have the same amount of bluffs to made hands in villains range on a blank of course.

IF this all makes sense
